##### 42.2.9.2 Overriding cross-reference properties

You can use configuration PI markers and configuration-variable assignments to override settings in [XrefStyles] and in the HTML [XrefStyleLinkSrc] section; see Table 42-4.

A temporary override to a cross-reference format affects the next cross reference after the configuration PI marker.

A persistent override affects the next cross reference in the format named by the Key in [Section]Key=Value, and all subsequent instances in the same DITA file, unless changed again by a later override.

Table 42-4 Cross-reference sections subject to overrides

Cross-reference section | HTML/XML | Word | WinHelp
    [XrefStyleLinkSrc]
| Yes |  |
    [XrefStyles]
| Yes | Yes | Yes
